[@thomasdonio2129]

That only proves what great actresses Field, Sherwood, and Redmond were. When watching it as a youngster, I only remember how joyous the show was.

[@DTD110865]

Yeah, l learned a long time ago that she wasn't a fan. I also remember a rumor that she really did the voicework in a Simpson's parody of the show. Interesting detail I read about Madeline Sherwood; reportedly she participated in Civil Rights marches. I'd love to see footage of that!

[@LoriKasprzak-kc7xc]

I'm 70; I was raised Catholic, but everything about the nun stuff has always embarassed me.

[@jillmacchitelli6473]

When I was a kid I loved this show. I even dressed up as the flying nun for Halloween. Sally Field is a wonderful actress.

[@SuperMarioBrosIII]

Sally Field was pregnant🤰did you know this Rick? She had to keep this a secret during the production of The Flying Nun.⛪🔔📺👼

[@zoperxplex]

One of the few network shows situated on the island of Puerto Rico.

[@earlcollinsworth]

She was "America's sweetheart"! I remember watching her every week!

[@partyon5374]

Watched the show as a kid & was surprised to learn later that she didn't enjoy doing it.

[@roberttelarket4934]

She has finally revealed she is an addict of Rick Nineg videos.

[@ricknineg]

Haha 😂

[@johndavis3921]

Actually, Sybil put her on the path to stardom. I saw her in a 1972 interview with Dick Cavett, she told him her goal was to find a movie where she could be challenged by a nude scene. Keep in mind, that some actors in the early 70s thought nude scenes could demonstrate their loyalty to the craft. by getting out of their comfort zones and facing their fears.

[@SuperChicken666]

Her show before Flying Nun, Gidget, was so sophisticated and edgy {sarcasm} that it's no wonder she found this show silly.😊

[@teijaflink2226]

Sally Field is a wonderful actress, you could never guess she didn't like the character.

[@carmelopappalardo8477]

Life in the nunnery was fairly accurate with this show. I grew up Catholic and had sisters teach me through all my childhood.

[@sallyn2393]

I watched it, and as a kid in the 60’s it was much like others- very silly and far fetched. But they were enjoyable at the time. I read her autobiography and knew she disliked her role. I have always loved her as an actress, I think she’s wonderful.

[@meman6964]

Yes! Genie, Bewitched, Hooterville, Hillbillies etc all sit coms a bit odd then, but clean fun, no harm done

[@roberttelarket4934]

Her greatest role is Not Without My Child(1991). A fantastic movie about life outside of US, Europe in middle east. A must see!

[@deirdrecaskenette5473]

Not without my daughter...was the name of the show.

[@lianedeangelo6344]

I watched it in the late 60’s. Recently, I’ve been watching episodes on KZbin lately. I love it! Sister BA-Trill

[@ricknineg]

Classic

[@geophizz]

I can't blame her. We all have had jobs that we hated, and she is a true professional for not oletting that affect her performance.

[@imkluu]

I watched the show as a kid. I liked it, but thought it was silly even then that her coronet allowed her to fly. It surprises me that she felt that way. As you said, she appeared to be sincere in the portrayal.

[@TheJorgSacul]

It's strange how some actors hate the roles they are loved for having played, especially multi-season shows, or movies with sequels. I'll give her credit, though, between mentoring by other actors and sucking it up herself, she did produce a likeable character.

[@williamcohen2447]

Very surprised to hear what Sally Field thought of the role on The Flying Nun and would like to see more vlogs on this show

[@j.lietka9406]

I thought for the most part, it was a wholesome show.

[@outsider238]

I loved this show. I even have an original costume from the episode "The New Habit". I knew about Sally hating to do it. She only did it because her step father scared her when he said "You may never work again" when she was offered the part. She said the flying harness she wore wasn't even made for her but for Mary Martin for Peter Pan so it didn't fit her very well and was uncomfortable. She still did an excellent job on a show that was beloved by so many.

[@johnwilson1489]

The flying nun was one of my favorite shows back then. I'd love to see more of it.

[@tigger06]

Watched every episode as a kid. Loved the show, loved her. Still love her in everything she does. I have known for years that she did not enjoy the show or her role. Heard it a few times. She is not the first to do a show they hate in order to further their career. And eat. Sally Field is a brilliant actor. She played it brilliantly. She looked made for it. Just shows how talented she was, even at that young age.

[@jefffixesit60]

Sally Fields is one of my favorite actors, and one of the things I enjoy about her work is how genuine she seems in every role. The Flying Nun is no exception, she is convincingly in character at all times, despite her misgivings about the character and the scripts. I'm sure the experience she gained from TFN served her well in subsequent roles😁

[@Luvoldmovies-Kat.St.Aug.]

I did watch it as a child . So thru a child’s eyes I was memorized when she flew. So I really liked the show then . Never new her thoughts about her character and the show . Thank you 💕📺🎭⭐️

[@mordechai-]

Wow, she radiated such cheerfulness and upbeat personality on the show that I never imagined she hated it. I must say, it speaks well for her loyalty to the company she worked for, that she played it so well, even though she thought it was ridiculous. I've always liked her and her personality, in everything she did.

[@joeyrivful]

This show was always my favorite. She had great chemistry with all the other actors and kids. I also really like the theme.

[@smegghead9991]

I remember as a kid watching this show and sure, looking back on it, it's certainly silly but it was still something that I clearly recall watching with my family, and it was my 7yo introduction to Sally Field. It's sad to know this was a difficult time in her life, but it's wonderful the way she came out of it and persevered to become the Oscar winning actress we know.

[@flmlvr]

Yes, I used to watch the show when it was in syndication in the early 1970s. Personally I DID like it. Yes, I knew there was no such things as flying nuns, but I think what we reacted to was the sincerity. It had it's heart in the right place. The other surprise we got later in life was that Sally Field would go on to win TWO Best Actress Oscars. And she did in fact blossom to an even better actress - which is saying a lot, because for someone who hated her role, she never let it show in the final product. My memories are fond of it - but if I ever met her, I probably would not tell her that I watched it regularly.

[@bern7777777]

I've been watching it again after seeing it as a kid. It's a good show and she's good in it. BTW, I grew up with nuns teaching me in school.

[@eleanormay729]

I loved the show when I was young, one of my favorites. Sally Field is just being honest about how she felt, she is such a great actress that she didn't let it show!

[@BradSnyder1]

It’s very surprising to hear her talk about that show. I love watching it when I can find it. It truly is a wholesome show.

[@maplebob23]

I remember this from when I was very young but I haven’t seen it since I was four or five. Of course I loved it because it was about a nun who could fly. What could be better, except, maybe Underdog.

[@The_Dudester]

I did watch the show as a kid. I know that Sally took edgier roles after Flying Nun, but Smokey and the Bandit was the hit that she desperately needed. Because of that role, she got bigger roles which led to her getting 2 Oscars. With that said, Robert Reed hated The Brady Bunch, even though he was a surrogate father to the kids, and out of his own pocket paid for him and the kids to go to Europe on the Ocean Liner Queen Elizabeth 2 (there is also a hilarious story about a "shipboard romance" for 2 of the kids, but that's another story.). Elizabeth Berkeley tried to break away from her role on kid's show "Saved By The Bell" by baring all in Showgirls, which backfired on her.

[@theastewart6721]

Hi Rick. I am not shocked at all by this because I’ve heard it all. As a young girl growing up in the 60’s, watching Gidget and the Flying Nun, I loved both shows. So did my friends. I have a vivid memory of playing outside one September as it was starting to get dark and my mom calling me in to watch the Premier episode of one of the seasons. It was the first time on our new color tv. I was so excited! Years later I heard Sally Field say very disparaging remarks about both shows and it got me really mad. I lost respect for her because these shows gave her her start. It really bothered me. Then years a later again, I heard her talking again about these shows and she had much kinder things to say. So I felt better about her. Those idyllic days of my youth are kept tightly in my heart. Life and tv especially were so much cleaner and brighter than what’s on today. I’ve recently started rewatching That Girl with Marlo Thomas and Ted Bessell. Another great clean show. Thanks for another great video Rick. This one really hit home for me. As I take each day at a time after losing my husband I enjoy watching all of these shows. ❤

[@ricknineg]

I’m so sorry for your loss regarding your husband. I can’t even imagine how hard that is to live with. Just know there are people supporting and loving you

[@theastewart6721]

Thank you for your kind words Rick. It’s just gutting but God willing my faith will sustain me. I really liked the way you “tell it like it is” approach to this video. Well done!❤️

[@1953Stephan]

I loved this show, still watch it every chance I get on demand on our local streaming network she also sing in several episodes ( has a great singing voice )

[@IMDunn-oy9cd]

Fun Fact: The actor (Vito Scotti) playing the police officer at 3:01 is the same actor who played the Japanese soldier in an episode of Gilligan's Island.

[@chipdouglas9729]

He was also in many many TV shows and he was in the Godfather movie.

[@ricknineg]

Yes he was practically in every show since we was a master of accents and disguises

[@PaulTesta]

He also played the part of a pilot in an episode of "The Odd Couple."

[@juliemcmahan1207]

I love The Flying Nun as a kid!! I didn't know what she thought, that's too bad... I'd love to see more about it. Thank you for all you do Rick!

[@theturnersontheroad4537]

I liked Sally Field in the Flying Nun and her role in Gidget❤ Love and peace Jim and Dawn Turner aka The Turners On The Road

[@JDfromWitness]

Loved watching it and it speaks to her acting skills because I would have never got the impression she didn't like the role. I wonder if this was a later, retrospective, change of heart.

[@LoesserOf2Evils]

Indeed, I enjoyed The Flying Nun. I was only seven years old when it premiered and I had a crush on Sally Field. In later years, I came to favor Marge Redmond (Sr. Jacqueline). I enjoy these videos. Long may they come.

[@marlenepearson3936]

I loved the show. Haven't seen it in years. And I thought Sally Field was so adorable. Yes, I am surprised she hated the show so much. And made sure people knew it after the fact. I wonder if 20 years later she feels the same way? I'd like to see you cover the show. I doubt anyone else is. ❤ Thanks Rick 😊

[@pattymerrill2838]

I watched the show liked it a lot. It's disturbing to me that actors/actresses can feel that way when they were given so much. They should have been thankful every single day. She was so blessed. So sad.

[@thespookyone66]

Amazing as always Rick! Thank you so much! 🧡🧡

[@MDC617]

It’s BerTRILL, not Bertrile.

[@Barnabas45]

Exactly!

[@TodaysDante]

It's actually "Bertrille," so it could pronounced either way.

[@lpdog82]

she really never flew , she actually floated Lol , , , , i loved this show when i was a little kid in the 60s

[@mikeguy]

for hating it so much, she sure did a MARVELOUS job!!!

[@queenmarynovelwriter5397]

I remember watching this show as a kid.

[@paulmclaughlin4132]

Thanks Rick for another interesting segment. I knew that she did not like playing the role but I did watch it when it aired weekly in the 60’s and I really liked it as a kid. I don’t think her feeling about the role has ever made me not want to watch the show. Again Rick good segment, thank you for taking the time to do these.

[@nickimontie]

Everyone needs to watch and subscribe! This was a cute show. It wasn't shown much in reruns, but I watched it when I could.

[@Pandalynn369]

I watched the show. I loved it when she flew in the air. I'm surprised to here Sally didn't like the show at all. That just proves she's an excellent actress even at a young age.

[@Pandalynn369]

I just noticed I spelled a word wrong. Suppose to be hear not here. 🫢

[@ddavenpAZ]

I have never heard of this show, but it seems Sally didn’t appreciate her Sister act and thought it was utter nunsense! 😂 While this show with its very surreal premise, (a skinny nun whose hat gave her wings? Was she registered with the FAA?) I would consider it just Sally’s introduction, as to me, the one television role that she had that blew all minds, even today, was that of Sybil Dorset, a woman with Multiple Personalities disorder, in the aptly named made for tv movie “Sybil”. Definitely a must see! Regardless, your video today has me intrigued by this show, and I encourage you to cover it, for the curiosity alone. The behind the scenes techniques with that flying has to be a tale to tell! 👍🏻 Thank you for introducing me to something new! 😊

[@cadeevans4623]

This show was very joyful and great such a blast to watch live Sally field as well she is great rick

[@elizabethtorres3491]

Its such a good feel show.❤ LOVE it. Grew up watching it. ❤

[@markcarter822]

I really liked The Flying Nun. I've loved Every performance of Sally Feilds in Everything she has done. One of my favorite actresses.

[@emcsquare62]

My grandparents watched the series back in the early 70's. When we visited, we watched along. I think it was just one of those comedy series that was written so well, you lost yourself in it and never really gave it much thought.

[@gailwatson4927]

I loved The Flying Nun. Sally was great in this show. I had idea she hated doing the show.

[@traczebabe]

I love the show. I think Sally Fields is a great actress & pretty much a representation of the attitude that is in Hollywood. She grew up on camera in that world. I’m not surprised.

[@truthteller8459]

I watched it regularly and loved it and her. Sad to learn she didn't like the character and the show. I enjoyed every single second of the show as well as the entire cast. They were all magic and made for the parts completely.

[@lauriemclean1131]

This is a show I really don't remember ever watching. I did recently get accused of looking like the flying nun when I wore a hat that must have resembled hers.

[@FormulaJRay]

This wasn't a show I watched regularly, but I remember seeing reruns of it in the afternoon probably in the late 80s or 90s sometimes when I was visiting at my grandparents house. I don't know that I remember any specific storylines from the show now, but I do remember liking it. Kind of a silly premise I guess, but I was a kid so it was cool. Not sure how I would feel about it watching it as an adult now. But it'd probably still be better than some of the new stuff they are making these days.

[@Jared_Wignall]

It’s interesting to hear you talk about The Flying Nun Rick. Thank you for the video, I hope you’re doing well. Keep up the great work!

[@ricknineg]

Thanks, you too!

[@zevroth1361]

I watched this show I believe her name was pronounced Sister " Bah - Trill" not the way you said it

[@ricknineg]

Tomay TOE. Toe Ma Toe

[@Wolf359inc]

I was born in 1969, but grew up on reruns of this show. That her performance was so joyful, goes to show what a great actor Sally Field is. I have enjoyed her performances in everything she has done, from the Flying Nun , to Smokey & the Bandit, to Forrest Gump, and beyond. I’ve probably seen Gidget, but I don’t recall. Pretty sure I was not the target audience when it was popular… Cheers,

[@earth2006]

How much TV today isn't drivill or complete nonsense. Yes, I watched it in its first run. I like the songs.

[@southernoregoncatmom6519]

It's a fun show. I've always loved the theme song. I thought that Alejandro Rey was so good looking while watching reruns as a kid.

[@michaelmichniak127]

Sister Sixto was played by actress Shelley Morrison who years later played Rosario on Will and Grace!

[@Px828]

I was a kid when this came out and I loved it.

[@richtidd]

It was as she said in the show: Lift plus thrust is greater than load plus drag. Yes, I saw the show in original run?

[@stevengreco1939]

Great video!

[@jtodora]

I watched the show, only because I really like Sally Field. She is a really good actress; and lets face it, she's really pretty too. It wasn't a bad show, but I was in my teens when it was on and it wasn't the type of show I would have normally watched if it wasn't for Ms. Field.

[@genewashington7905]

If I remember correctly, she liked being Gidget. However, Screen Gems halted the series and because she was on contract by them, SF was obligated to do the Flying Nun. She stayed in contact with her co-stars through the years. Post Flying Nun, she tried to shed that image by doing the TV mini series Sybil which she won an Emmy. Then doing Smokey and the Bandit, but I think Norma Rae put her on the map Oscar-wise and a few years later Places In The Heart won her the second Oscar. She’s a great actress that had clunker movies and TV to perform in. I would to ask her how was it for her to act along side Daniel Day Lewis in Lincoln.

[@bender7565]

I am at the foot of the master but I remember her as Sister Bertrill never Bertrile. Even as a 10yo I liked The Trouble with Angels and FN reminded me of that movie. I also had a young cutie teacher in 2nd grade, 1964, Sister Charlotte Marie and I had concerns about going to hell for having a crush on a nun.

[@renezescribe1229]

Hey Rick, this is a new twist on what I knew of her playing Sister Bertrille! A few years ago, I saw Sally Fields in an interview and she glossed over how much she hated the role but she did mention at lengths that the shooting of the series was very difficult for her since she suffered from vertigo. The producers knew it and they promised that all of her flying sequences would be done with special effects but, as you may have seen in some shows, she is actually hung by a wire at times and was, according to her, trying very hard not to yell her despair and her fright at being suspended in mid-air. I don't remember if she said there were safety nets underneath so my thought is that this negative feeling towards the series may come from a buildup of those emotions. As the old saying goes: Never meet your Heroes, you're sure to meet disappointment.

[@lazyhomebody1356]

This doesn't make me think less of Sally at all!

[@elizabethtorres3491]

I think I heard that about what she said. Its a shock and sad that she cant mature enough to really see the message. ❤

[@randymack2222]

This is what brought her out of the Gidiget character that she would have been forever typecast!

[@roberttelarket4934]

Idiotic program from the 60's when I was in junior high school now called middle school.

[@PaulTesta]

Rick, Is this your first time covering "The Flying Nun?" While I'm not a huge fan of the show, as a lifelong Catholic, it is indeed special to me. I remember watching reruns of the show back in the '70's. I had no idea that Sally Field had such disdain for the show, especially given that her performance as Sr. Bertrille came off so genuine and innocent. She really handled the part well. It would be really cool if she saw this video and provided some up-to-date comments about the show. Also, we GenX'ers will recognize Marge Redmond, who played Sr. Jacqueline, as Sarah Tucker from the 1970's Cool Whip Commercials. She just passed away a few years ago at the age of 95. Thanks for a good video, Rick. Be hopeful. Paul +

[@jenlemon4294]

I’ve never seen the show, Rick, and I also don’t know much about Sally Field. I feel like at this point I’m more influenced by your opinion/comments about the show rather than her comments. I’m very curious to check it out based on what you said. It’s exciting to find a “new” classic tv show to watch. Thanks for recommending it!❤

[@im_agine852]

I thought it was cool back then. I have a dog that makes her ears look like the nuns hat.

[@larryfromwisconsin9970]

I was only 13 in 1967 and I couldn't stand to watch this.

[@varrick1226]

Yet she took the money. That's some integrity!

[@cjmarshall0221]

Of course she's going to take the money! That's what they paid her to do. How do think she paid her bills and purchased such necessities as food. Sheesh!

[@alangrawien103]

She also still did the job. Many people take money for doing their job even when they don’t like the job.

[@oantech4252]

Smoky and the Bandit turned her into a big screen star.. Like most big stars, it goes to her head.. Never forget your past or your roots...especially if they put you on the map to a successful career..

[@DH-ve5bl]

@oantech4252. I believe her relationship with the very popular (at the time) Burt Reynolds helped her get to the big screen. Her natural acting talent has kept her there.

[@tigger06]

Sorry...don't buy it. She ABSOLUTELY does not fit the type of someone who ANYTHING goes to her head. At all. I'm more than sure she is grateful for the beginnings of her career. Including Gidget. She appears very gracious every time I've seen her. As I said ..there are many folks who became stars that did not always like what they had to do to get there but are happy to have been given the chance in the first place.

[@johntuttle2825]

I've heard of The Flying Nun series. I think she is best known for Gidget. I seen Sally Field as a serious actress too. "Beyond the Poseidon Adventure." Sally had a few funny parts in that movie. Survivors of luxury liner. Sally were part of a crew that are treasure hunters. Sally falls in love with the Captain of that one ship. Unfortunately, very bad guys are after something of the wreck too. Amazing movie. Kind of sad too. I think Sally played Aunt May in one of the Spiderman movies. She also played Abe Lincoln's wife also in Lincoln movie too. She can be funny and serious in acting. Good video. Thanks, Rick!

[@sandybruce9092]

There’s a hospital in Phoenix, AZ that has nuns years ago that has the same habit as the Flying Nun! I always wondered as a kid if those nuns could fly!!!

[@Estes705]

In watching this show back in day, I always figured that there was divine intervention in her flying. I never understood why her cornette never came off while she flew or why her neck was never hurting from all her weight hanging down.

[@mamas.8259]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@hungfao]

If it was on when I was in the living room I would watch it. I was mostly trying to figure out that head covering. I'd never seen anything like that on the nuns I was used to seeing. What was it made of? How did it stay on? Etc. Meanwhile, the characters were pleasant and the stories were harmless, mostly unmemorable. Sometimes repeating the formula as many sitcoms did back then. (Probably still do)

[@popculturecurator]

I loved the show as a id. Great video!

[@markchilders5708]

I watched this when I was a kid and enjoyed it as I always have anything that Sally Field was in. I have the highest regards for Sally Field as an actress. I don't have any idea what the real Sally Field is like but I am sure that she has always taken great pride in her work. I can see her point. Compared to many other things that she did, "The Flying Nun" is really kinda silly. No one can fly and the story lines were mostly simple with no great point to be made. But it was entertainment that let the audience forget about their troubles for a short time and she did get a paycheck out of it. I am a little surprised that she is not more grateful. Still love you, Sally!!!

[@randelbrooks]

OK my thought is before all these people are dead and since you have a very substantial recognized TV series on KZbin, maybe you should try doing interviews with some of these people and kick it up a notch we would all love it. I was in a scene with her although we never met.

[@ozziemederos]

She was great in the show 😊

[@mildredglisson]

Hi Rick 😊

[@lorakendall4940]

I liked that show. It was funny. Thanks for sharring‼️😂😂😂😂

[@JBIRDRN8]

I’ve known this about the show. She is a great actress and did a great job. It’s amazing that she hated it, but was able to pull it off. What you have to remember is that she was very young and resented having to dress like that at her age. I’ve always liked her, but it did bother me a lot. However there is so many phoney people in Hollywood that I shouldn’t be shocked. I loved the show and will get out of it what is presented and not think about the negative feelings of anyone who acted in it.

[@lindafromnevada2512]

I loved the show. It was a great show.

[@luishumbertovega3900]

Vito Scotti was a nice, funny actor !!! 😁

[@walterhat1638]

I don't remember specifics, but I seem to remember Sally Field always being a bit critical about what roles she would accept during her career as an actress.

[@mariannedias6698]

This is a good example of what people will do for money and fame.

[@MonteBlanchett-mp2vc]

Escapism for escapism's sake. That was the line up for ABC's Thursday night TV. Batman - F Troop - The Flying Nun - Bewitched - That Girl - Love On Rooftop. Sally, you paid your dues. Thank you.

[@richtidd]

SF had to work very hard to overcome the typcasting of Gidget and FN. Turns out she was/is a great talent.
